Life as a mother and wife
For the past four days as I was working triple time doing housework, "daddy's" work (since he was sick I have to do his job), care giving, and everything else, this made me think of what life is as a mother and wife. When I was still single all I always think of is to have a family of my own, children of my own, home of my own, and everything else about getting settled.
Nothing can prepare someone for family life, experiences of others will help but only a little, it's just a glimpse of what it really is when you have your own. If you are the eldest, taking care of your younger brothers and sisters is little compared to taking care of your own kids.
Mothers are the first one to wake up in the morning to prepare the things of their children and husband, the last person to go to sleep because she have to make sure that everything is already prepared for tomorrow. She takes care of the kids and the husband who acts like a kid sometimes… whew, that's the hardest part, taking care of an adult who wanted to be treated like a baby... sweet but sometimes annoying,. When one of her kids gets hurt, mothers feel the pain twice as hard as how they child feels it. If somebody is sick, although she takes care of the child and seems to be alright but deep inside her everything is not alright, the worries and everything, she just hopes that she was the one who got sick instead of her little ones. You know even though her children are all grown up, in a mother's heart they are still her "little ones."
Mothers sometimes are seldom appreciated for what they do in their family, clean the house, do the laundry, iron the clothes, cook the food, wash the dishes, and all the other housework that needs to be done. She does everything, and what does she get in return? You can answer that... a simple thank you mom/honey, is such a wonderful feeling for a mother/wife, it is like her strength is being recharged. And what does a hug from her loved ones do? It doubles the recharging, makes her want to do more for her family.
If you are a child (and everybody is), hug your mom or say something nice to her. If you are a husband, give a little time to appreciate what your wife is doing, you never know but a wife feels she's just a half person without her husband. If you are a mother give time to yourself, because if you overworked and you get sick, just think of what will happen, so many people depends on you. And if you are single, enjoy it first, do what you want in life because when you have a family of your own, everything will be different, its not what you think it is.
